Abstract: Green spaces and parks are an essential aspect of a healthy community. Incorporating parks into the landscape of a city can benefit the community. Understanding the relationship between park management and park users is important for creating the most effective use of space and accessibility. This project looks at the comprehensive viewpoints of both park managers and park users through a series of interviews and reviews of previous research and literature. Logan City, Utah is used as the location of interest for collecting and determining outcomes. This project displays the key findings of the priorities and viewpoints of both park users and park managers and how this intricate relationship can work together in an effective way. With the global population surpassing eight billion, urban expansion has highlighted the importance of greenspaces, particularly in combating the challenges posed by urbanization. This research highlights the positive impact of nature on mental and physical health, and the role parks play in fostering this well-being within communities.
